PyGithub is a Python library providing typed, object-oriented access to the full GitHub REST API v3. It lets Python applications manage GitHub resources such as repositories, users, and organizations, including GitHub Enterprise instances.
Use cases
- manage github repositories from python
- automate github workflows with a script
- list a user's repos via the github api
- query github organizations and pull requests programmatically
- build a bot that reacts to github events
- access github enterprise api from python
When to choose
- you need comprehensive, typed coverage of the GitHub REST API in Python
- you want a mature, well-documented library with active maintenance
- you need GitHub Enterprise support with a custom hostname
When to avoid
- you only need raw HTTP calls and prefer lightweight requests-based scripts
- you need GraphQL API access rather than REST v3
- you work in a non-Python stack
